Column 763
Letter from E. A. J. Carr to Mr. Elfyn Llwyd, dated13 February 1995:The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your Question in which you asked when Cadw would re-open an office in Gwynedd. The Agency has never had a public office in Gwynedd although it does have a Works management unit at Caernarfon. Our professional and field staff, however, travel frequently throughout Wales, providing a direct point of contact for members of public who may be potential grant applicants; offering advice to local authorities on statutory procedures and best practice in conservation; and also liaising with a range of bodies and organisations which have an interest in preserving and promoting the built heritage of Wales.
Cadw is committed to improving the standard of services it provides to the public generally and its customers, in particular, across the range of Agency activities. The views of customers on how well they feel we deliver those services, and suggestions for how we may better meet their needs, are always welcome and given careful consideration.
At present, however, the Agency has no plans to open a public office in the North Wales area.
Nature Conservation
Mr. Llwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales when he will issue planning policy guidance on nature conservation in Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Sustainable Development
Mr. Llwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if it is his policy to implement in Wales the United Kingdom strategy for sustainable development in January 1994; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Gwilym Jones: The Government's strategy for sustainable development, published in January 1994, covers all parts of the United Kingdom; and provides a framework for action. In line with this, on 31 January 1995, my right hon. Friend published "The Environmental Agenda for Wales" setting out our plans for striking a sensible balance between development and conservation needs in the Principality. A copy of the agenda is available in the Library of the House.
Environmental Agenda
Mr. Llwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what is the status of his statement on the environmental agenda for Wales in the planning system; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Gwilym Jones: The agenda reflects existing planning policies and should be taken into account by local planning authorities, where relevant, together with detailed planning policy guidance.
Community Areas and Councils
Mr. Llwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish for each county and district council area in Wales and for Wales as a whole the number of (a) community areas, (b) community and town councils and (c) community or town councils which have (i) ceased

Column 767
Mr. Redwood: Details of the investigation will be announced as soon as possible.
Local Agenda 21
Mr. Dafis: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what action he proposes to take to promote the drawing up of local agenda 21s.
Mr. Gwilym Jones: Action by councils in this general area is being taken forward under their local Agenda 21 initiative, co-ordinated at the United Kingdom level by the local authority associations. Although local strategies under agenda 21 are for individual councils to develop, the environmental agenda for Wales, recently published by my right hon. Friend, encourages Welsh councils, and others, to take a range of practical "green" measures.
Minerals Planning Guidance
Mr. Dafis: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is the latest version of minerals planning guidance on aggregates provision which applies to Wales; when it went out of print; and what steps he intends to take to ensure that the guidance on this subject issued by his Department will be taken fully into account by local authorities in Wales.
Mr. Gwilym Jones: Minerals planning guidance note 6--MPG 6-- "Guidelines for Aggregates Provision in England and Wales", is extant in so far as it relates to Wales: it went out of print in July 1994, although Her Majesty's Stationery Office can still supply copies through an out-of-print service. In October 1993, my right hon. Friend wrote to the leaders of all local authorities in Wales reminding them that government guidance must be fully taken into account when discharging their planning responsibilities.
NHS Suppliers (Payment)
Mr. Morgan: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, pursuant to his answer of 26 January, Official Report, column 377, if he will place a copy in the Library of the guidance issued on prompt settlement of bills to NHS organisations; if he will list which NHS organisations have been sent a copy of this guidance; and if he will make a further statement.
Mr. Redwood: The guidance has been placed in the Library of the House.
SCOTLAND
Objective 1 Funding
Mrs. Ray Michie: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if he will list the projects that have been approved for European Union objective 1 funding for the highlands and islands in the first round of (a) the European regional development fund and (b) the European social fund; what was the expenditure approved for each project and what was the total expenditure; and if he will place this information in the Library;
(2) what limitations apply to Government Departments for applying for European Union objective 1 funding for projects in the highlands and islands;
Column 768
(3) how much finance from objective 1 funds for the highlands and islands has so far been earmarked for (a) energy supply networks and (b) transport infrastructure; and if he will list the relevant projects;(4) if he will list the projects that were not approved for European Union objective 1 funding for the highlands and islands in the first round of (a) the European social fund and (b) the European regional development fund;
(5) if he will list the successful applications for European Union objective 1 funding for the highlands and islands which are located in Argyll and Bute;
(6) what has been the total level of funding from objective 1 funds for the highlands and islands that has so far been earmarked for each Scottish Office Department; and what this is as a percentage of the total expenditure so far committed to projects.
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton: Government Departments are able to compete for objective 1 funding on the same basis as other potential project sponsors.
To date, no funds have been allocated to the Scottish Office from the European regional development fund. Contributions from the European agricultural guidance and guarantee fund and the financial instrument for fisheries guidance of 47.08 million ecu, about £37 million, and 19.80 million ecu, about £16 million, respectively are expected over the life of the programme--1994 to 1999--in relation to schemes administered by the Scottish Office Agriculture and Fisheries Department for the benefit of farmers, crofters, food processors, fishermen, fish farmers, fishing industry organisations and local fishing port authorities and enterprises. Applications for support from the European social fund towards Government training programmes is made by Highlands and Islands Enterprise. These programmes will not take up any more than 40 per cent. of the European social fund resources.
In relation to the more specific questions on the first round of project consideration, as the information requested is lengthy, I shall arrange for copies of the tables to be placed in the House Library.
Cochlear Implants
Mr. Worthington : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) what calculation he has made of the numbers of profoundly deaf children who would benefit from cochlear implants;
(2) what is the cost of a cochlear implant operation for a profoundly deaf child; and how many children in Scotland have received this operation in the current financial year;
(3) what representations he has received from the surgeons carrying out cochlear implants in Scotland about the best age for carrying out this operation; and what he is doing to match funding to the number of children needing this operation.
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton: The national services division of the common services agency, which is responsible for purchasing this service, has commissioned an assessment of need for paediatric cochlear implantation in Scotland which will be published shortly. The findings of this report will inform future provision and funding levels for the service.
No representations have been received from surgeons carrying out cochlear implants in Scotland about the best age for undertaking the operation. A recent Medical
Column 769
Research Council evaluation study has indicated that, in general terms, cochlear implantation has favourable outcomes up to the age of seven years.The cost of a paediatric cochlear implant operation is £28,725 in 1994 95. Five children have received this operation in Scotland in the current financial year. The numbers of children referred for operation to centres outwith Scotland is not held centrally.
Coastal Policy
Mr. Macdonald: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) what is the expected publication date for the Scottish Office coastal discussion paper;
(2) what progress has been made on producing national planning policy guidance on the coast;
(3) what initiatives the Scottish Office is undertaking to promote coastal zone management in Scotland.
Sir Hector Monro: My officials are working on a discussion paper on coastal policy issues, which will be published as soon as possible. The paper will provide an overview of existing policies affecting the coast and will consider the need for planning guidance. It will also discuss the concept of coastal zone management as it applies to Scottish circumstances putting particular emphasis on partnership and the voluntary principle.
NHS Abortions
Mrs. Bridget Prentice: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many NHS abortions were performed under 13 weeks of pregnancy on women resident in each health board in 1993; and of these operations, how many involved admission and discharge on the same day.

Sheriff Court Houses
Mr. Home Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the Sheriff court houses in Scotland which do not satisfy the objectives set out in the justice charter for Scotland in respect of (a) accessibility for disabled people, (b) adequate and comfortable accommodation, (c) refreshment facilities and (d) services for defence witnesses and lawyers.
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton: Work is currently being undertaken to establish an independent assessment of the facilities provided in Sheriff court houses against the aims and objectives set out in the justice charter for Scotland. In recent years, a major programme of capital investment amounting to some £20 million per annum has been undertaken to improve facilities by providing new and refurbished court accommodation and this programme of work continues.
Scottish Avalanche Information Service
Mr. Charles Kennedy: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has to increase funding to the Scottish avalanche information service following the recent avalanche on Liathach, Torridon, Wester Ross; and if he will make a statement.
Sir Hector Monro: The Scottish avalanche information service is administered by the Scottish Sports Council and is funded from the grant in aid total provided to the council by the Scottish Office. Any increase in funding is therefore a matter for the council in the first instance. The coverage of the scheme is reviewed regularly and at the end of this winter season, the council will be considering whether changes to the existing arrangements are necessary.
Local Authority Schools (Recruitment)
Mr. Worthington: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the local authority schools in Scotland that seek to recruit nationally.
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton: This information is not held centrally. However, I am not aware of any local authority school that recruits nationally, either as regards staff or pupils, although education authorities do place advertisements from time to time.
Column 771
Local Authority Schools (Funding)
Mr. Worthington: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the schools in Scotland that he directly funds independently of local authorities.
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton: The Scottish Office Education Department provides annual grants for the operation of the following schools:
Dornoch academy, Sutherland
Jordanhill school, Glasgow
and provides grants towards the costs of operating the following schools:
Royal Blind school, Edinburgh
Donaldson's college, Edinburgh
Harmeny school, Balerno, Midlothian
East Park Home school, Glasgow
Stanmore House residential school, Lanark
Corseford residential school, Kilbarchan
Craighalbert centre, Cumbernauld
The New school, Butterstone, Dunkeld
The Scottish Home and Health Department provides occasional grants towards the capital costs of secure accommodation provision at St. Mary's Kenmure, Bishopbriggs and at Rossie school, near Montrose.
Local Government Reorganisation
Mr. Worthington: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the special circumstances of the music school attached to Douglas academy in Milngavie will be fully taken into account when he decides the financial allocation to the new East Dunbartonshire council.
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton: As the October 1992 consultation paper "Shaping the New Councils" made clear, the distribution of aggregate external finance to the new councils following local government re- organisation will be subject to consultation with Convention of Scottish Local Authorities in the distribution committee of the working party on local government finance. As at present, the distribution will be determined by the client group assessment methodology. The distribution committee will be considering during the course of this year the preparation of grant aided expenditure assessment for each of the new councils.
Mr. Worthington: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on his policy with regard to the music school attached to Douglas academy in Milngavie and similar establishments; and what plans he has to give special financial help to such ventures when the new councils are set up.
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton: The Government recognise the important contribution which the music school and other similar schools in Scotland make to the education system. It was following recommendations in a report by the Scottish Education Department in 1976 that these schools were set up.
Column 772
The framework in the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 should ensure maximum continuity between the existing and the new authorities in terms of provision of education services.Provisions already exist under section 23(2) of the Education (Scotland) Act 1980 to safeguard the financial position of an authority which, as in the case of Douglas academy, is providing education for pupils from another authority's area. Section 23(2) provides a mechanism whereby such an authority may recoup the costs incurred by so doing.
Procurator Fiscals
Mr. Salmond: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many procurator fiscals or deputy procurator fiscals were attached to each procurator fiscal office in Scotland and if he will provide a breakdown of the average number of cases per procurator fiscal or deputy procurator fiscal in each office in (a) 1974, (b) 1984 and (c) 1994; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Lang: Precise staffing figures for 1974 are not available. In any event, the procurator fiscal service took over prosecution in the district court between 1975 and 1976 and this makes comparison of staffing levels prior to then inappropriate. The figures requested are provided below for the years 1976, 1984 and 1994. Little significance can be attached to them, since scope for comparison between staffing levels and bare case numbers is restricted by differing degrees of complexity and duration of cases, geographical considerations, and inter-office assistance.

Mr. Salmond: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what resources were allocated to each procurator fiscal's office in Scotland for each of the last 10 years; and if he will break down this figure to show the average amount allocated per case dealt with by each office; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Lang: Resources are not allocated to individual offices on a per -case basis; they are allocated and managed regionally for the departmental settlement on a basis of past performance, local factors and forecast work load. Allocations per case would be unreliable, there being no meaningful comparison to be made on such a basis because of differing degrees of complexity and duration of cases, geographical variations and inter-office assistance.
Mr. Salmond: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the number of cases dealt with by each procurator fiscal's office giving the numerical and percentage breakdown of cases which (a) were marked no proceedings, (b) were dealt with through fiscal fines, (c) proceeded to court, (d) resulted in charges being proved and (e) resulted in persons receiving a custodial sentence for the last 10 years for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement.
Column 775
Mr. Lang: As the information requested is lengthy I have arranged for it to be placed in the Library of the House.
GP Fundholders
Mr. Godman: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many general practitioner fundholders in (a) Inverclyde, (b) Strathclyde and (c) Scotland as a whole have over-run their budgets; and what was the average amount of the over-run in each of the last two years.
